On Friday 17th November at the Holiday Inn in Corby, Shape Dance attended the Corby of Sprit Awards 2023. We are so proud to announce that Shape Dance won the Special Spirit of Corby Award 2023!!!!!
It's an amazing achievement, so a special thankyou to the Shape Dance team for all their hard work and dedication.
Kate Coull said: “It’s quite a surprise actually, I mean it’s a wonderful surprise.”
Zoe Grkinic said: “We are really shocked. We are really pleased because we’ve won awards in the past but I think because now we are over the 50 year hurdle it’s never taken for granted that you win these sorts of things. We have taught so many people’s children in Corby throughout the years and it’s lovely that we’ve won, we really appreciate it.”
Formed in 1970, Shape Dance rounded off their celebrations last year after serving over five decades to the Corby Community. Thousands of dancers from 4-year-olds have been through Shape Dance over the years and they now see 2nd and 3rd generations of families joining. Classes run across Corby on a weekly basis, offering tap, ballet, and modern dance and the opportunity to perform in summer performances and annual Christmas shows held in The Corby Core Theatre. Their emphasis is on having fun, dressing up, making friends, and increasing confidence and self-esteem.
There are 13 teachers currently supporting classes throughout Corby who all attended classes with Shape themselves as children. Some dancers have also gone on to university to study performing arts.

Congratulations to all, great achievement.
